High Acidity, Took Medications, Addict To Tea. What Is Treatment?
Hi, I have high acidity in my stomach for years. I now double omeprazole to 40mg., and Ranitidine to 300mg. I have reflux induced asthma & GERD. Is there anything that can help w/ GERD attacks. I can only eat about 10 types of foods. I take a lot of Rx but by process of elimination, they don't seem to be irritants. I drink a lot of fennel and chamomile tea. Anything stronger I can take or nicer I can do for my gut?
